NEWSFLASH: Switchfoot is NOT a Christian band. From the very outset, the band, and Charlie Peacock, wanted to be mainstream, until a Christian label bought Charlie's label. Switchfoot has said they are not a Christian band, even more recently saying there's no such thing as Christian music.
ReplyDeleteIf an artist/band is Christian, it will be CLEARLY revealed in their lyrics. Why? First, because music is their ministry. Second, because we are to speak our message boldly and clearly. "How will they believe unless they hear? How will they hear unless someone preach? How will someone preach unless they are sent?" Just because a band has one or two Christians DOES NOT make them a Christian band. In fact, if they are Christian in the least, the non-Christian members will leave (unless God does a saving work in their hearts) because light and darkness have nothing in common. The light drives the darkness away. If you don't think so, I suggest blowing the dust off your Bible and spending some time actually reading it.
If your music does not speak of God, Jesus Christ and Him crucified, the Bible and its teachings, and Christian principles, then you are NOT a Christian artist/band. You may or may not be a Christian doing music, but you are NOT a Christian artist/band and your music should not be advertised as such. Just like the hymns of old, our music needs to BOLDLY proclaim the truth to whatever sound (rock, rap, country) we use. The false ideology that obscuring your message will allow the unsaved to search for Jesus on their own is illogical and unbiblical. The Bible makes it clear that NO ONE seeks after God. Obscuring your message DOES NOT HELP THEM! The message is to be BOLD and CLEAR so that if God chooses to do a saving work in them, it can actually be accomplished. An obscure message will accomplish absolutely nothing. There are too many artists/bands labeled as "Christian" that have NOTHING Christian about themselves as people, or their beliefs, let alone their music. The lack of discernment is a disease plaguing the church today, accepting anything and everything that claims to know Jesus or be Christian. People need to ditch their Facebook, Twitter, and handheld devices they're addicted to and start spending more time in God's Word learning the truth.
